If anyone wants to read my story - WARNING MAY DISTURB SOME READERS- I have it posted in the adults only section on Deaf Authors and on Scribophile. Both of these sites offers me privacy for my story so it isn't floating around the internet (and potientally destroying my chances of getting...

LOL! May be dumb but it's funny :D:giggle:

DC, what is your username on Scribophile? I want to "buddy" you there :)

My college doesn't have short story submissions for our college paper, but I know we have end-of-semester presentations from the Creative Writing class. When I take manuscript writing next Spring, I will probably be asked to read a selection from my manuscript in front of an audience. SORRY...

Nadja, if you like, I would be more than happy to review it and give you feedback on how well the deaf character is presented? I'm a writer myself, and currently working on my first (vampire) novel. Of course, that's completely up to you. :) I can't wait for the book to come out! :D

LOL!

Yup, that's what happened! When I quit so I could focus on my education full time, several of my co-workers told me that our supervisor had been trying to find a way to get rid of me because I'm Deaf. I was like, "Figures. His loss." EVERYBODY was furious about that - he kept giving me the...

pretty vague, I admit. Where I live, we say "west/east coast" to mean US, "far East" to mean Asia... *shrug* *gobbling a cup of Wendy's chocolate frosty* MMMM

Count FL in - too damn many yanks live here! :D Find one person whose family has been here for more than a generation, and it's a shock! :D

haha!!! :D You will be fine. :) They have a "how-to" for critiquing. It can be as basic as grammatical errors that you catch, or if something doesn't sound right to you... Similar to my critique of Chase's Beegone. :)

It's just a points system on Scribophile. To get more points, one would need to vote on comments/works and to critique others' works. It's the number by your star on your "My Desk" page. They just call it karma points, cuz they like it I guess! :)

ROTFLMBO! How typical of male lipreading! :-P

Only if you promise to post their reactions! :D

Vampyrox, nope - but I've been told that I sign in my sleep. :) My mother has seen me do this many times.

Oh, good grief! *hides* I was a HUGE NKOB fan when I was in 4th, 5th grade. I remember my mom took me to a NKOB concert :D I was one happy 9 year old! :D But now? I donno if I want to see their reunion. I mean, it's been 20 years...

If you have enough karma points on Scribophile, it would be awesome if you posted it. :)

Ozzie and DreamCatcher, thank you! :D I'll do that for my next NaNovel (this November). DreamCatcher, do you have the same username on Scribophile? And it's easy to add your works - just go to My Desk, click on the "Manage My Works" button on the top left side, and follow the prompts...

slight correction - however hilarious I think it is - it's dragonyoGa not yoDa. :D

Yup. Goes back to the old belief that speech = intelliegence. That belief is still prevalent, whether people want to admit it or not; it's a intrinstic belief, something that people automatically percieve as true without thinking about it.

I'll take it up with the Department of Deaf Education this week, if I can get ahold of them. It's Finals Week, so it will be difficult. I will post whatever they say, verbatim, including any research they know of.
